CAUTIONS:
● This Mobile mini note PC is designed to be used with the JVC BN-LS12E/LL21E battery packs and, to
recharge them or to supply power to the Mobile mini note PC from an AC outlet, use the provided AC
Adapter and Power Cord. (An appropriate conversion adapter may be necessary to accommodate
different designs of AC outlets in different countries.)
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all
sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes.
(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)
Do not allow the Mobile mini note PC or AC adapter to operate with the base resting directly on anyone’s
lap. Allowing sustained contact may cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws
governing the disposal of these batteries must be strictly followed.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water.
Also do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases,
potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE

OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, as with any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with the LCD panel on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for
unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make
sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or
handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of
road safety. It is illegal to watch the LCD panel while driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating
will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case —
this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a
short circuit and possibly start a fire.
Caution! Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold
temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the
battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the Mobile mini
note PC. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

CC Converter
This is a data-band expansion system JVC has developed for audio applications. It reproduces
the timbre of the original sound from high-quality and compressed music data as well.
The CC converter operates as a system filter so that it takes effect regardless of the playback
application.
To make the effect valid or invalid or to change the effect level:
1. Open a shortcut of (CC Converter) icon in the task tray (by clicking the right
mouse button).
About the expansion effect modes

(see next page for details)
About the intensity

(see next page for details)
2. When the menu above appears, click on the desired option.
Cautions
• If you have disabled the effect, the CC Converter icon is shown in monochrome color in the
task tray.
• The actual sound playback may slightly be delayed due to processing of playback data.
Explanation of menu options

¡ Enable

¡ Disable

XP72305230E_23_33 27 2/25/3, 5:44 PM

The following menu options are effective only when you have checked the "Enable"
option.
About the expansion effect modes
One of the following three effect modes can be selected.
Each has its own special characteristics as described below depending on the frequency band
pattern which is to be expanded.
¡ Harmonic expansion mode
Expanding the harmonic components contained in music accentuates the lingering tones
and gives the sound an added brilliance. This mode is particularly suited to vocals and
music made by acoustic instruments. It can have an effect on almost all genres of music,
and it is the mode which is normally used.
¡ High-range expansion mode
Expanding the high-range components enhances the feeling of the sound’s resolution. It is
particularly suited to hard-sounding types of music made by electronic instruments. With
rock or pop music, you can enjoy a more lively sound.
¡ All-range expansion mode
This provides an expansion effect over the all range contained in the music. Since there is
no focus on a particular point to be expanded, the CC converter can have an effect with all
types of music.
About the intensity

One of three menu options can be selected as the intensity level of the effect to be exerted by
the CC converter. It is recommended that you select the level of intensity that matches the
size of the speakers that will reproduce the sound, the performance of the headphones and
type of sound data (compressed or non-compressed).
¡ More presence
The CC converter functions to have the maximum effect.
The “More presence” level is suited to playing back compressed music data through the PC’s
built-in speakers or other small-sized speakers. With some types of music, the noise may be
accentuated in which case the “Standard” or “More natural” option should be selected.
¡ Standard
With the “Standard” level, the CC converter exerts an effect which is suited to listening to
compressed music data through headphones or mini audio components. This is the setting
which is normally used.
¡ More natural
The CC converter functions to reproduce the original sound with the highest possible fidelity.
The “More natural” level is suited to listening to non-compressed high-quality data through
large-sized speakers.

¡ About CC converter
Shows the CC converter version and other information.
Click [OK] to close the displayed subwindow.
¡ Exit
Quits the CC converter. The CC converter status you have set at this point is held. If you wish
to restart the CC converter, you can start up the program from the Start menu.
Cautions
• Do not change the sound playback device when you are playing back the sound data (such
as an audio file).
• If you have changed the sound playback device, wait five (5) or more seconds before playing
back the data.
• The CC converter can process two-channel PCM data only. A sound device may transfer
multi-channel data or non-PCM data, but the CC converter cannot process such data.
• If you play back data having a high noise level, the noise may be emphasized.
• Users other than the computer administrator (even if they have the Administrator’s authority)
may not change the CC converter setup.

Network connections using a wireless LAN (MP-XP7230GB only)
The model MP-XP7230GB PC comes with wireless LAN functions. (The MP-XP5230GB series
does not come with these functions, and the details provided in “Network connections using a
wireless LAN” do not apply.)
You can connect to a LAN system from any location within the wireless communication area to
access the Internal LAN or send and receive mail. By using a wireless LAN access point (available
from a retail store) which is connected to an ADSL modem (available from a retail store), you
can access broadband environments from a multiple number of PCs. Furthermore, you can
bring your PC to one of the public wireless LAN services which have been increasing of late and
enjoy accessing the Internet by wireless means.
For the wireless network settings and details, refer to [Help and Support] on the [Start] menu.
General description of wireless LAN
The wireless LAN in this PC supports the following functions.

• Automatic communication speed selection function: 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 (Mbps)
• Frequency channel selection : All 13 channels (2412 to 2472 MHz)
• Roaming between multi-channels
• Power management function
• Compliance with IEEE802.11 and IEEE802.11b standards
Types of wireless LAN networks
• AdHoc Mode
In this mode, the data is transferred directly between PCs. It is suited to wireless networks in
which data is transferred between several laptops. The peer-to-peer workgroup setting for
providing equal handling for all the laptops is established.
• Infrastructure Mode
In this mode, the PCs are connected through an access point. If the access point is connected
to an ADSL, CATV, ISDN or other such line, the PCs can be connected to the Internet as well.

Suggestions for using the wireless LAN
• Use the wireless LAN in a location where there are as few obstacles as possible. To maximize
the distance over which communication with the wireless LAN is possible, open the display,
and point its reverse side (the side with JVC logo) at the access point. Do not place any
obstacles such as books or thick stacks of paper between the PC and access point.
Setup procedure for the wireless LAN
Caution
In order to make it easier to check the operation of the PC’s wireless LAN, start the access point
before proceeding to use the wireless LAN in the infrastructure mode. For use in the AdHoc
mode, start the PC that serves as the other end of the communication where the wireless LAN
settings have already been completed if possible before proceeding to use the wireless LAN in
this mode.

automatically allocates the IP address to be enabled. On the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Properties” screen, click and select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain
DNS server automatically” , and click the [OK] button.
For directly communicating with another PC using a peer-to-peer connection :

Set the IP address which has the same network address as the IP address of the PC that
serves as the other end of the communication. If, for example, the IP address at the other
end is 192.168.1.1, click and select “Use the following IP address” on the “Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP)” screen, and input 192.168.1.2, for instance, in the “IP address” field. Input
255.255.255.0 for “Subnet mask,” and click the [OK] button.
For making the wireless network connection via an access point

In cases involving an in-company LAN, etc. where a DHCP server is in operation on the
wired network to which the access point is connected, click and select “Obtain an IP
adress automatically”and “Obtain DNS server automatically” on the “Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) Properties” screen, and click the [OK] button. (Check with a network administrator
to ascertain whether the DHCP server is in operation.)
In a home or other such environment where a DHCP server is not in operation, manually
set the IP address to the one that has the same network address as the IP address of the
access point. If, for example, the IP address of the access point has been set to 192.168.10.1,
click and select “Use the following IP address” on the PC’s “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”
screen, and input 192.168.10.2, for instance, in the “IP address“ field. Input 255.255.255.0
for “Subnet mask,” and click the [OK] button.
When connecting to the Internet using a wireless LAN access point connected to an ADSL
modem (available from a retail store), check the method used to set the IP address with
the Internet service provider.

another manufacturer.
Cautions
1) File backup
• If you have recovered your PC, it will have been returned to the status before shipment.
All files you have created, applications you have added, and various parameters you
have set will have been cleared and lost.
Before starting system recovery, back up any important files you have created on CD-R
disk or hard disk drive D of your PC.
• If you have backed up the important information in drive D, you must select the option
in Step 2 "Select the recovery method (disk partitioning)" on Page 83 and you must
recover drive C only.
2) When starting System Recovery
Detach all peripherals from your PC. If not, the recovery may stop or the required operations
may differ from those written in the manual.
3. Repeated setup
Execute the Recovery program to restore the information on the hard disk. The Recovery
program returns both your PC and all applications back to the original state before shipment.
If you wish to set up the application software separately, upload them from the Application
CD-ROM one at a time. (See "To Set Up the Standard Applications Again" on Page 32.)
